AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about an anaerobic composition that can be used as a sealant. It includes a mixture of rheology modifiers made of cetyl alcohol and synthetic mica fillers. The composition is free of any naturally-occurring mica fillers. This anaerobic sealant can be used on various surfaces, such as joint fasteners, pipes, and anchor. The technical effects of this invention are improved adhesion, better sealing, and better resistance to corrosion and damage.

Problems solved by technology

Over time, however, the rheology modifiers and fillers can separate from the resin, especially when exposed to temperature variations.
Depending on the degree of paste separation, the curing rate becomes unpredictable and can decrease or fail completely.

d and Break Torque

[0058]The cure speed of the above samples was measured against break torque. Break torque was measured in accordance with ASTM D 5649, titled, “Torque Strength of Adhesives used on Threaded Fasteners.” Break torque strength was tested on ⅜″×24″ steel grade 2 nut and bolt assembly. For comparison, SEALLUBE (both high viscosity and low viscosity sealants), available from Henkel Corporation, was also measured and reported in Table 2 and FIG. 7. Samples 1 and 2 cure earlier and faster than SealLubes at both high and low viscosities on steel.

aration Analysis

[0061]FIG. 1 is a photograph of two low-viscosity anaerobic pastes, after they were subjected to room temperature for over three weeks. Control Sample A paste, comprised of natural mica with cetyl alcohol, separated into clear pool of liquid on top of a dark paste. The clear pool was evaluated with IR and TD / GC / MS, and the results are shown in Table 4. Sample B paste in FIG. 1 is has the same components as Control Sample A but made with synthetic mica instead of natural mica.

[0062]The IR and TD / GC / MS showed that the separated liquid contained plasticizers, decomposed curing agents and non-filler rheology modifiers. Without being bound to any specific theory, phase separations of the paste contribute to inconsistent and delayed curing of the paste.

Abstract

Anaerobic paste compositions and uses are disclosed. The anaerobic paste compositions remain stable at room temperature for a prolong time without phase separating, making these compositions particularly well suited for long term storage and exposure to extreme temperatures as anaerobic tubular thread sealants compositions.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to anaerobic paste compositions. More particularly the invention relates to anaerobic tubular thread sealant paste compositions having a fast cure profile and long-term stability without phase-separating, making these compositions particularly well suited for long-term storage and exposure to extreme temperatures.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Anaerobic adhesives and sealants are used in tubular threads, in fasteners and joints, to prevent loosening from vibration, and to protect the thread from corrosion or rust that can result from moistures. Anaerobic paste compositions remain as paste in the presence of air (oxygen), but as the joints are threaded to remove oxygen, the paste compositions polymerize and form solid resins with excellent sealing properties.[0003]Anaerobic adhesive and sealant compositions generally are well-known. See e.g., R. D. Rich, “Anaerobic Adhesives” in Handbook of Adhesive Technology, 29, 467-79, A...
